After posting this picture on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, we received a few messages asking us about ACV and its benefits. Therefore, we decided to write this quick post about the benefits on Natural Hair, Weight Loss & Health.

I finally decided to give this "old" recipe a try, mainly because one of our biggest struggle is "thirsty hair", especially during the cold and dry days.

It is important to remember that using Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) without adding plenty of water on your curly strands may damage them. Therefore, make sure you mix the Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) with plenty of warm water.

I added 2 tbs of Vinegar to 16 oz warm water. Now that Ms. Bree's hair is short, it is a bit difficult to estimate how much solution or product is needed. Needless to say, I didn't use the entire 16 oz.

If you have anything left, don't worry, you can save the mixture to be used at a later time.

As you can see, Ms. Bree was not very happy about the strong odor. I must agree with her on that! It was a bit strong and even her puppy found it a bit "interesting", so interesting that she wanted to lick Ms. Bree's hair. But thankfully this only require from 10 to 15 minutes to work! Here Are A Few "Benefits of ACV" For Natural Hair:

1. The acidity of the Apple Cider Vinegar rinse will help maintain the pH balance of your curly tresses and it can remove buildup at the same time without stripping the hair of its natural oils. You may use Apple Cider Vinegar in lieu of a clarifying shampoo but make sure you choose an extra moisturizing conditioner so that your curly strands get all the moisture they need.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar will help treat clogged hair follicles due to bacterial infection that creates crusty flakes on the scalp. 4. Apple Cider Vinegar can help stimulate better circulation to the hair follicles, which strengthens the hair roots and promotes a healthy hair growth.

5. Apple Cider Vinegar has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties that help treat itchy, dry scalp. 6. Apple Cider Vinegar rinse can also help in closing your hair cuticles, which will keep moisture in your hair and minimize any frizz. It's important to remember that ACV is in acidity, and like with every product that contains high acidity levels, you must be cautious on how often you use it. The over use of this ACV mixture can lead to the degradation of your hair shaft.

I posted this a month ago on my Facebook page! How many of you stuck with this and are you experiencing the benefits from it?

Starting a day early for my challenge group. My first healthy habit change is going back to drinking 1 tbsp of acv and 8oz water every morning and evening. There are so many amazing health benefits to this. Here are a few:

1. It helps lower triglycerides which in return lower the bad cholesterol.

2. It helps your body maintain a healthy alkaline pH level. (This is my main reason for taking. I have a lack of energy and get a little of female infections sometimes due to a low pH level. This happens from having too much acid in your body which is my problem.)

4.This miracle vinegar helps to break up mucous throughout the body and cleanse the lymph nodes. Believe it or not, research suggests that apple cider vinegar can help with allergies because of its ability to reduce mucous and sinus congestion. When reducing the effects of allergies, it can also help stave off sinus infections and their related symptoms, such as sore throats and headaches.

5.This vinegar is rich in natural enzymes that can help rid your body of candida—yeasts that are attributed to thrush in humans. Candida also is blamed for creating symptoms of fatigue, poor memory, sugar cravings, and yeast infections. (I have issues with this as well.)

6. Reduces heartburn. It might seem like an oxymoron, but it really does help.

I've been drinking Dr. Oz's Swuimsuit Slimdown Drink for four days now.

Drinking it before each meal reduces my appetite which leads me to eat smaller portions, my cravings for sweets (especially chocolate) have decreased and it has also helped producing a regular bowel movements.

I can't say for sure if it has helped with any cholesterol issues as I don't have any. However, I'm hoping my lovely husband will give this a try. Of course that will require a lot of persuasion on my behalf!

As I said before, ACV contains high level of acidity and just the same way it can damage your hair if you use in excess or undiluted. ACV can damage your tooth enamel as well as your throat's tissue if is not diluted before you drink it.
